Beta is out, you get 5-6 tracks and 5-6 cars or whatever.
Neither GFX or sounds are anything special as yet, and I've no idea of whether any improvements will be made, but the good news is that MP is busy, so if that's your "thang", this could be for you, but be warned, the degree of difficulty is pretty high.

Btw, you need to pay for the beta{paypal accepted} and then you don't pay anything more for 18months.

Got my rennsport wheel stand today . Gonna hop on forza 4 for now. But i really wanna try cars. A racing sim that offers rally. interesting. Thought I had found the FFB in the shift games to not be the greatest.

As for GTR games, didnt like the FFB/feel of the wheel in those. felt really slippery. Didn't like how the cars handled.

No wheel I know for sims you need one. Makes a world of a difference I'm sure.

Some people can be fast with a 360 controller, but a good wheel like a G27 is one of the best things you can do for gaming in general, and PC sims work better than console games wrt wheel precision/forcefeedback/MP numbers{25 or more in rfactor2}.

I think most people's reaction to buying something like a G27 is why they didn't do it sooner.

Not sure which wheel, but I have a G27 and it's excellent, and Inside Sim Racing praised the FFB with the T500.....as for handling.....not sure what you mean, but it strikes me as being pretty good, and if you meant you found the cars difficult to drive, "steer" clear of rfactor2, lol.

I've tried virtually every sim over the last few yrs, and if I had my way, I'd use a mix of Simbin{EVO} and Game Stock Car for physx......both iracing and rfactor2 are very slippery, but rfactor will have plenty of cars and tracks and won't cost $400-$600 getting there.

I used a DFGT at the time. But now I have a Fanatec GT2. I should give GTR evolution another shot, see what its like with that.

I am letting all my mates at SimJunkies test this one out. Even as a beta it is getting mixed reviews. Most complaints right now are about the FFB.

I am in on C.A.R.S. tho(but I haven't been keeping up on the builds) That game ticks all the right boxes for me as I loved the eye and ear candy of Shift and it's the same engine it is just now getting more of a sim treatment.

I have been in iRacing and what not myself. What I would really like to see is a good "over the counter" NASCAR sim again. Not like the crap that EA put out, but some serious updated Papyrus type of NASCAR sim. God them were some good old days! I think the last good NASCAR sim was the 2003 version. Hell there were large followers and web sites devoted to keeping things updated with that game. Not even sure if any of them sites are still around. Probably ended up being iRacing. LOL
